Liked Flat field. No frills. Lovely view of the sea and the top of Portland bill lighthouse. There were families playing cricket when we arrived so a lovely friendly feel. The cafe on site is a real bonus. Lovely friendly welcome from staff member on arrival at the cafe.

Disliked Nothing. Although the approach to the girls with construction materials and mounds of earth isn’t the prettiest, it didn’t matter to us. I didn’t visit the portaloos as I chose to use my loo in the van. My husband said there were no lights in the loos, so we would recommend this is added to avoid dropping a torch or phone down the portaloo! We also didn’t shower, partly as there was a cost. I think showers should be included in the camping rates, as it was slightly expensive for a basic field with a portaloo but I’m sure you are paying for the great location.

From the manager: Hello Jo Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed and thoughtful review. It’s nice to hear that the view, the atmosphere and the café all made such a positive impression, and that the friendly game of cricket gave you a lovely welcome to the site. That kind of spontaneous community spirit is exactly what Sweet Hill Farm is all about. We're also glad to hear the approach to the site didn't detract too much from your overall experience. We are currently working on ongoing improvements to the site and we very much appreciate your patience and understanding during this time as we can't wait for guests to see the finished results! Thank you for the very practical suggestion regarding lighting in the portaloos, it's a brilliant point and we'll certainly be looking into this as we wait for planning permission to build a permanent toilet block and we're grateful you took the time to flag it. Regarding the shower charge, we completely understand your perspective and appreciate you raising it so fairly and honestly. The small charge helps us to maintain the hot water and upkeep of the facilities, though we always take feedback on pricing seriously and will continue to review how we can offer the best possible value for our guests. We very much hope to welcome you and your husband back to Sweet Hill Farm again

Disliked Showers werent as clean as they could be. Shower facilities a bit tired ie no mirror, hook or shelf to put items on

From the manager: Hello Thank you for taking the time to review us, can we say that we work hard to keep the showers clean and safe, when you stayed in Aug we were cleaning every two hours, and as we have said many times the showers/toilets blocks are only as clean as the person before you, its just not possible to clean after each us Chris and Tracey
